NOTE: Important information concerning the device. 2.1 Warnings • Do not use the BiPAP Vision in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide. • Oxygen supports combustion. Do not use oxygen while smoking or in the presence of an open flame.
Do not allow any liquid to enter the cabinet or the inlet filter during cleaning. • If the BiPAP Vision is exposed to temperatures near the specified limits for operating, storage, or transport temperatures, allow the device to acclimate to room temperature before use.
The PC board transmits process data to the main control (MC) board, which then provides overall control of the BiPAP Vision and sends instructions to the PC board regarding required ILFR-PRV valve stem positions and blower speed.

Table 3-1: BiPAP Vision Subsystems Subsystem Function Power supply subsystem Provides the bulk supply DC voltage to the BiPAP Vision subsystems. (PSS) Main control (MC) board Performs all control, data acquisition, and calculations required for user-selected parameters. The MC board also performs the start-up test and reports all errors.

NOTE: The nylon mesh inlet filter can be cleaned and reused or replaced, depending on its condition. Use only Respironics-approved filters. 6. If cleaning the filter: use a solution of mild soap and water to clean, then rinse thoroughly. Ensure that the filter is completely dry before reinstalling.
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting 6.2 Alarm Indicators The BiPAP Vision checks its function at startup and periodically during operation. Ventilator microprocessors continuously monitor internal sensor readings and evaluate operation. The ventilator analyzes and reports any discrepancies according to the level of severity.
Chapter 7. Testing and Calibration This chapter describes how to test and calibrate the BiPAP Vision following service. These procedures include: • Exhalation port test (Section 7.1): characterizes the circuit and leak rate of the exhalation port. Perform at each circuit change.
Testing and Calibration 7.2 Service Laptop This section describes how to set up a service laptop for testing and troubleshooting the BiPAP Vision. The ventilator includes all necessary Setup software to work with a service laptop, and does not require additional software.
Chapter 7 Testing and Calibration 7.4 Blower/Valve Calibrating the blower and valves for the BiPAP Vision takes about 10 minutes or less, depending on the installed software version. Perform the blower/valve Calibration calibration as required after replacing certain major components.
9. Perform the system final test (described in Chapter 7) before returning the ventilator to use. 8.2 Upgrades This section summarizes the upgrade history for BiPAP Vision ventilators. 8.2.1 Serial Number 105999 and Below The following upgrades (Table 8-1) do not include these updated items: •...
